What Happened

Nate Clements got a huge 63-yard return off a tipped-pass interception. He then picked up a drum and started to get the 49ers’ crowd into the game by banging it. One play later, Frank Gore caught a short pass, broke a tackle and scored. Why do the 49ers start so slowly and then play so well in December? It must be frustrating for 49ers fans. The turnover and quick score is providing rest for a banged up Shaun Hill.
